Asus in its usual style introduced a sleuth of products at the 2013 IFA show. The Taiwanese based manufacturer has updated its FonePad lineup by outing new FonePad 6 and 7. The original 7 inch FonePad made its debut in February this year but Asus has already decided to upgrade it with better features while keeping the price almost same as the original. Brand new glossy yet non-slippery rear finish and faster HSPA+ 3G speeds are the most noticeable change out of others. It’s a tablet with full 3G calling support across GSM and WCDMA bands.


The Fonepad 7 is powered by a 1.6GHz Intel Atom Z2560 dual-core processor and runs on Android 4.2 Jelly Bean. It sports a 7 inch display with a resolution of 1280×800. The device can capture photos and full HD video through its 5 megapixel rear camera.

Asus FonePad Note 6 on the other hand competes with a rather crowded space. Though it’s smaller than Samsung Mega in dimensions and screen size, but Asus prefers to tag it as a tablet with calling feature rather than a phablet. It runs on a 2GHz dual core Intel Atom Z2580 processor and Android 4.2 Jelly Bean. It sports a 1920×1080 display with 367ppi resolution. It has 2GB of RAM and buyers will get an option of choosing between 16 or 32GB of internal storage. The Fonepad Note 6 also features an 8 mp rear camera with 1080p full HD recording and a 1.2 mp front facing camera. The pricing and availability hasn’t been confirmed by Asus as of yet.
